Balanced just brought leveraged staking to everyone, with their new widget catalogue's Vault. Loop $JitoSOL, $weETH, or $wstETH into leveraged staking positions, funded from any supported network. Read more on @BalancedDeFi's new Vault widget, powered by SODAX.
Balanced Widgets Launch with SODAX Leveraged Staking Vaults @BalancedDeFi, has shipped its long-awaited Home page and widget catalogue: a customizable dashboard where users add, resize, and arrange only the DeFi tools they actually use. Their Vault widget now runs three leveraged liquid staking strategies (JitoSOL, weETH, and wstETH), funded by a deposit of any asset from any supported network. Users can now access Leveraged liquid staking to loop a staked asset against itself and compound yield. A Home Page Built Around What You Actually Use Getting anything done in DeFi usually means juggling apps: one to trade, one to check prices, one to manage a lending position, each with its own user interface to navigate. Balanced set out to fix that. @BalancedDeFi have always approached DeFi’s user experience problem head on, taking a design-first approach against the cluttered and protocol centric standard in the space. Today’s widget release puts that focus squarely on the person using the app. Having already shipped a new version of their application and tripled the assets available to trade this year, Balanced have cleared the ground for an even bigger idea: one home page built around whatever tools a user actually needs. That home page and widget catalogue are live now. Open app.balanced.network, click Add Widget, and drop in what you need. Resize it, move it, group widgets into spaces for different tasks. Connect a wallet and the layout even follows you across devices. Two widgets ship in this first release: a Price Chart widget to follow your favorite assets, and a Vault widget to access leveraged staking yield through the SODAX execution system. LST Vaults with SODAX @BalancedDeFi already runs its exchanges and its money market lending and borrowing on @gosodax, coordinating activity across 20+ blockchain networks so builders don't have to manage that infrastructure themselves. The Vault widget extends that into a third feature, available through SODAX’s API and SDK toolkit: leveraged liquid staking. Stake ETH or SOL and you typically get a liquid staking token, or LST, back: a token that represents the staked position but stays usable elsewhere in DeFi. wstETH, weETH, and JitoSOL are all LSTs, and the Vault widget runs leveraged strategies on all three. The strategy is called looping and behind the scenes, the following happens. An asset is used to acquire and stake a base asset and receive its LST. This LST is then supplied as collateral to borrow the unstaked version against it. The process is repeated to create these “looped” positions, with each loop adding a bit more staking yield and borrowing cost on the new debt. Because the staked and unstaked versions track the same price, it's a relatively contained form of leverage. Beware however that if a staked asset does depeg from the base asset it tracks, positions may face liquidation. The beauty of Balanced’s release is that these steps of looping and unwinding don’t need to be managed manually by the user. Through the Vault Widget, a user can simply deposit into the strategy from any asset across supported networks and withdraw with the same ease. More to come The Price Chart widget rounds out this release with much more to come on Balanced's roadmap, that you can find in their announcement blog. The widget catalogue is now live at app.balanced.network for you to try out. If you want to learn more about the execution behind the Vault widget, the other cross-network features on Balanced, or to enquire about building with SODAX yourself and to view the major unlocks for your product, please head to sodax.com.
Anchorage Digital adds Lido support, giving institutions access to wstETH https://www.theblock.co/post/406587/anchorage-digital-adds-lido-support-giving-institutions-access-to-wsteth?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social
Holding wstETH? SparkLend may be the most efficient place to put it to work. SparkLend holds more wstETH than any venue in DeFi. Most lending markets treat LSTs and restaking assets as a diversified basket. In stress, they're not. They share the same ETH exit path. SparkLend's wstETH market doesn't average across that basket. Parameters reflect wstETH's behavior specifically, not a blended risk profile across correlated exposures. What that means for you: Oracle pricing is fundamental, so short-term spot dislocations don't put your collateral at risk. Rate conditions below the kink stay predictable as the market scales. Efficiency mode stays focused, no complexity creep from an expanding collateral set. Your wstETH can work harder here. → Borrow against your wstETH on SparkLend: https://app.spark.fi/borrow
Ethereum OG sold $188M in ETH, wstETH and WBTC before crash, then bought back at lower prices According to Lookonchain, an Ethereum OG sold 60,000 ETH worth about $117.25 million and 9,442 wstETH worth about $24 million before the market crash, at an average price of $2,040.

Important update regarding Comet markets The unpause timeline for Ethereum WETH and wstETH Comet markets requires various Compound ecosystem partners to coordinate with @KelpDAO , @aave , and other parties to avoid disrupting broader DeFi recovery efforts. Because multiple parties are involved there can be no guaranteed timeline. However the current target is for Ethereum WETH and wstETH Comet markets to be unpaused by next Wednesday (6th May). Further details are available on the Compound community call on 29th April https://www.comp.xyz/t/compound-community-calls-thread/7272/36

0/ Today, the Ethereum Foundation completed a bilateral swap of ~21,269 aWETH to wstETH, coordinated with @LidoFinance and @mellowprotocol as part of their ongoing deleveraging work.
Whale 0xD91D created a new wallet (0xEb2a) and deposited 9,500 $wstETH into #Spark. He then borrowed 9,500 $ETH ($22.68M), sent it to #Binance to sell, and withdrew $USDE from Binance to repay loans on #Aave. https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xEb2a1125F1E14822d0708464b795Baad6B9038cE https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xD91D245eEc3Bb4Cab14B3F0b3C95CCFfCcD5E075
The OTC whale who previously bought 163,405 $ETH($440M) and 4,000 $cbBTC($296M) has withdrawn 98,032 $wstETH($272M) and 3,000 $cbBTC($221.6M) from #Aave. Affected by the KelpDAO rsETH bridge exploit, he was unable to withdraw $ETH, so he directly swapped 7,438 aEthWETH($16.83M) into 1,930 $stETH and 5,272 $ETH, taking a loss of 237 $ETH ($540K). He still has 10,000 $ETH($22.8M) remaining on #Aave. https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xd4584Bf988C9E8994688b56484E2F74cEAEeFB20
Introducing aWETH Redemption Protocol With ETH utilization at 100% on Aave, many lenders are currently unable to withdraw and face increasing risk if markets move. aWETH Redemption Protocol allows ETH lenders to: • Exit into wstETH or weETH • Regain immediate liquidity • Reduce exposure to liquidation risk If you’re just lending ETH — you can fully exit. If you have ETH collateral and another debt — your collateral is seamlessly swapped into wstETH or weETH while your debt remains the same. We’re working alongside @LidoFinance , @ether_fi, @0xProject, @1inch, @KyberNetwork, and other ecosystem partners to: • Reduce systemic risk in DeFi • Ease utilization pressure • Support a healthier DeFi market Our goal is simple: protect users while reinforcing the foundations of DeFi. Capacity is initially limited to $1B in ETH. https://fluid.io/lite/aave-v3/eth-swap

[Security Disclosure] A potential weakness was reported related to the ZKsync wstETH bridge endpoint contract. As of yet, there is no indication that the weakness was exploited, and wstETH holders on ZKsync are not affected. No other bridges are affected. Out of an abundance of caution, new deposits to the ZKsync bridge have been paused. Withdrawals from zkSync and token transfers are not affected. A fix has been prepared and will be audited and deployed via the next scheduled on-chain Lido governance omnibus vote (late March / early April), after which deposits will resume. Updates to follow.
Some impact data unavailable.
